Hello and good morning everyone! It's time for a new challenge over at Whiff of Joy Challenges. This forthnight we have the theme 'Spring' for you. When I look outside it looks like anything else than spring... quite cold and rainy... Well, but this way I can sit in my craft room without gnawing at my conscience ;-).

As the theme at Magnolia Down Under Challenges is 'Wedding/Anniversary' I wanted to create a such themed card to join their challenge. And so I had a play with a quite old Magnolia stamp of a couple. So love this one! And I enjoyed so much using it after quite a while now. It is perfect for this theme and although old this image is not less a beauty. So different to the newer ones.

The coloration is made with Distress Inks. I paper pieced their clothes... so love this technique.

Hello and good morning everyone. Easter is past and so I can show you the Easter card I made for my sister. This sweet image 'Precious' by Rachelle Anne Miller
is perfect for as it also includes the sentiment 'Big sisters are the
best' besides of others that are useful when the card is not for a big
sister :-).

Just three days ago I got my preordered Maggies and I HAD to use two of them immediately for the card I created for our challenge. I so love those new stamps, and I love the combo of those two images. I made true stitching on my card.

Hello everyone, hope you're fine and spent some great Easter days. Mine was great too; spent some time with my family, some time for crafting, some relaxing... just as I love it. Unfortunately they are over soon and the daily routing begins again tomorrow.

Well, today I have some great news to share. Some may already have noticed from the badge in the sidebar of my blog. Now I want to announce it officially too; the fabulous artist Mitzi Sato-Wiuff herself asked me to be part of her design team... woohoo!!! I needed no second to think and said YES, YES, YES!!! I so love her art and her digital images are such a pleasure to work with. Thank you so much, Mitzi!!

Every month we have a new challenge for you at the Aurora Wings Challenges. Today we start with the theme MONOCHROMATIC... love it!! And below I show you my inspiration... For my card I used 'Big Eye Holiday Elf'. It's a Christmas image, but I created her more winterlike.

The coloration is made with Copics. I so loved to color her. And I added some sparkling here and there.

Now we look so very much forward to see you joining us. You don't have to use an Aurora Wings image to join our challenge. But of course we would love when you do :-).

For once I made I creation
without coloring. I think not all of you love to color and so I wanted
to show you how to make a lovely project, a great little gift, with one
of the sweet stamps from Whiff of Joy made in not much time and without
coloring...

I used this sweet little owl, stamped it with brown ink and only paper pieced the heart with some red cardstock. The lovely doily is a new Die-Light available very soon.

Another new Die-Light are the
cutlery. Love them!! The have a little die cutted heart at the holders
and so great to add them into a ribbon or twine as I did how you can see
on my photo below... The sentiment I used here is from the 'Kalorienreich' set.

Hello and good morning everyone. Today I show you a card I made with the funny Mrs. Summer available at Bildmalarna. She is fantastic, don't you think so too? I created kind of a collage with her, for once with no flowers, what is quite unusual for me :o).

Here you can see a close up of the image. The coloration is made with Distress Inks.

Both sentiments I used on my card are from a new sentiment collection with German text. I also used some Die-Light for my card; the 'Notebook Border', the flower is made with the 'Nested Flowers II' and I also used one of the new 'Nested Tags'. I also embellished my card with some snowwhite Half-Pearls.

Thank you so much for looking! Hope you enjoy the projects the desing team made with the new products. Don't miss our blog hop we have on the 20th April 2014 to have the chance to win one stamp and one Die-Light. From this date the new products are available in the shop.

Hello and happy Sunday! Today we have a new challenge for you at 'Lovely Hänglar Sweet Magnolia', with an easy theme... we want to see your Spring creations. I decided to make an Easter card, a combo with two of my fave stamps... never made this combo before but think they fit so sweet together.

Below you can see a close up of the masked image. I made the coloration with Distress Inks and added some Frantage here and there.

Here you can see the hidden tag where I added a Happy Easter sentiment.

I used the Sketch from Magnolia Down Under for my card, and also followed the optional theme 'Easter.

Hello and good morning everyone, it's time for a new challenge over at Deep Ocean Challenges. This time we have following theme for you...

INSPIRED BY A SONG

When I saw this image I immediately thought of 'Maya the Bee'. And so I created this card for our actual challenge. I used one of the new images from 'A Random Fan'. They are just the cutest! I had a play with 'Sweet Honey Bee'. The background papers are from Kaisercraft 'Lulu & Roy'.
